No More Debt - Anyone?

What is money anyway? Just a means to perpetuate our lifestyle. A lifestyle that we choose to live whether it means being free of debt or being slave to the financial system. We make choices everyday on what to use our financial resources for. And those resources are dwindling as we are faced with ever increasing taxes and normal living expenses. Is it really all relative to your place and age in life? Perhaps, but it is interesting anyway to look at our own spending habits especially in light of present worldwide economic chaos.


So, you think you are debt free because you have paid off your credit cards and mortagage and car and whatever else. You are not quite out of debt just yet, you do owe a little more and the sad news is that you will die and never pay it off. You are not in control. Did you think you were? I have news for you. As of this moment in time that I am writing this sentence and if you are a citizen of the United States you owe a debt to everyone, every country, every United States Savings bondholder and any and every other entity, etc. that has loaned money to our wonderful government so that they can run their programs for your benefit. Your personal debt right now to all of these entities is $177,287.00 give or take an few cents.

I know, I know you don't believe me so here is the greatest website you will ever experience regarding our, being yours, mine and the government's current condition. Don't try to focus on some of the numbers as they move too fast. But look at that little box just down toward the middle right. It will tell you just how much you are in debt personally.

"Total Debt Per Citizen" = $177,287

Sleep on this tonight and check it out weekly to see if you have been able to pay it down or if you spent more. If it goes up you spent more and just didn't reallize it.
